Although DistinctNumeric, which is supposed to abstract the underlying
type, was used to represent CSSPixels, we have a whole bunch of places
in the layout code that assume CSSPixels::value() returns a
floating-point type. This assumption makes it difficult to replace the
underlying type in CSSPixels with a non-floating type.
To make it easier to transition CSSPixels to fixed-point math, one step
we can take is to prevent access to the underlying type using value()
and instead use explicit conversions with the to_float(), to_double(),
and to_int() methods.
This ports MouseEvent, UIEvent, WheelEvent, and Event to new String.
They all had a dependency to T::create() in
WebDriverConnection::fire_an_event() and therefore had to be ported in
the same commit.
Note that as of this commit, there aren't any such throwers, and the
call site in Heap::allocate will drop exceptions on the floor. This
commit only serves to change the declaration of the overrides, make sure
they return an empty value, and to propagate OOM errors frm their base
initialize invocations.
This needs to happen before prototype/constructor intitialization can be
made lazy. Otherwise, GC could run during the C++ constructor and try to
collect the object currently being created.
DeprecatedFlyString relies heavily on DeprecatedString's StringImpl, so
let's rename it to A) match the name of DeprecatedString, B) write a new
FlyString class that is tied to String.
...and also for hit testing, which is involved in most of them.
Much of this is temporary conversions and other awkwardness, which
should resolve itself as the rest of LibWeb is converted to these new
types. Hopefully. :thousandyakstare:
